Forever 21 comes to Hong Kong

In case you hadn’t heard, the Korean-owned American brand is finally gracing Hong Kong with its presence, and we have all the details.

For those unfamiliar with Forever 21, think H&M with an even higher stock turnover and you’re pretty much there. This is fashion so fast it barely stops for breath – the latest trends made accessible but at prices that’ll have your bank balance breathing a sigh of relief. Cute, colourful and cheap – what’s not to love?!

Forever 21 will open its flagship Hong Kong store in the six-storey Capitol Centre in Causeway Bay (currently home to Giordano and Watsons). This prime piece of retail space will set them back HK$11 million a month, double Giordano’s current rent. According to SCMP (via Retail In Asia), this means they will have to sell four or five items of clothing at an average price of HK$300 every minute in order to turn over a reasonable profit – that’s at least 6667 items a day!

If all goes well, we imagine that Forever 21 will roll out further branches around the city, in the style of similar foreign fast-fashion labels (like H&M, Bershka and Cotton On) that have made it to our shores.

I heard it was meant to open this summer (2011) but the deal didn’t go through because of the high rent. Maybe they’ve renegotiated?

Well at least we got Holister

Boobebe

yes. i heard that it was planned to open this summer 2011. so when will the opening dates right now?

Kyla

Has anyone checked to see if it has opened yet?

Graidan

The Giordano is still there (though it says it should be closing within a week) so no, this hasn’t opened yet. All the other shops in the center has vacated though (including Japan Home Store, Cafe de Coral, Watsons… all gone…)

SR

Hollister opens on the 19th!

Which Sogo department? Is that the one in tsim sha tsui, kowloon?

Whitey

Ok – someone must have insider knowledge. HK is a small place people…search your resources, there must be someone with links to the PR/Marketing firm that are organising the opening! I want access to F21 BEFORE XMAS!!!!

Sidney
